From the reviews of the third edition: The book is arranged in five parts and 36 chapters, each with an introduction, main contents and references. ... All chapters are well referenced ... and there is a good index at the back. ... should be available in all good school, community and university libraries and any research laboratories dealing with agriculture or mycorrhizal research. A good book addressing the mycorrhizal fungi. (K. D. Hyde, Fungal Diversity, Vol. 45, 2010)
